The radio stations in Germany were very creative yesterday. The station I listen to every morning in bed before getting up had a really good joke. At first I had to think a little bit but then I remembered that it is the 1st of April. They said that from the 1st of July everyone has to pay a postage of 1 cent for every e-mail . And it sounded plausible. They had a link to the responsible Federal Ministry for Posts and Communication and the spokesperson of the ministry confirmed it (But this ministry doesn't exist anymore for 12 years). And they said that on this way we wouldn't have so many spam mails in the furture. Many furious people called the radio station .

was my reaction to the first post of this thread! I didn't quite believe it but I guess I still fell for it

That's me Fooled twice this year!! Yesterday (April fools day) on the way to work, I heard a piece of news that sent me into a rant. "What!? Are you kidding me!? that is absurd!" I was ready to start a petition - haha. It wasn't until I was sitting at my desk at work, that I realized what day it was and thought..oh, wonder if it is an April fools - I hope so. I got my answer on the drive home. There has been much discussion and debate about this topic so it could have very likely have been true. So glad isn't.
